Make sure you have a qualified technician install the dryer. Step by step installation instructions start below.
1. Select a location and move the dryer to the site. For easy access, we recommend you install the dryer in the same location as your washer.
2. Install the exhaust system as instructed in the “Exhaust ducting guide” section.
CAUTION: Before installing your dryer, remove the packing material in the duct.
NOTE:
1. Remove the protective cap from the gas pipe.
2. Apply an LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)-safe compound or 1.5 wraps of Teflon tape to all threaded connections.
3. Connect the gas supply to the dryer. An additional fitting is required to connect the 3/4” (1.9 cm) female thread end of a flexible connector to the 3/8” (1 cm) male threaded end on the dryer. Tighten up the fitting over all threads.
4. Turn on the gas supply, and check for any leaks using a soap solution. If a leak is found, tighten the connections and try again. DO NOT use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

CAUTION:
Connect the power cord and check L1/L2/N voltage. If the voltage is low, it may not heat properly.
WARNING:
To ensure optimal performance, the dryer must be level.
1. Gently slide the dryer into the desired location.
2. Use a level (A) and check the levelness of the dryer from side to side and front to back.
3. If the dryer is not level, turn the leveling feet (B) left or right to adjust the height.
4. Once the dryer is level, make sure the dryer stands firmly on the floor.
5. Plug in the dryer.
NOTE:
Make sure all gas connections, the exhaust line, and all wiring is connected correctly. Then, plug the power cord into a power source and check the dryer’s installation and operation using the final checklist in Step 6.
When the installation is complete, confirm that:
For gas models:
CAUTION: The burner may not ignite initially due to air in the gas line. Allowing your dryer to operate on a heat setting will purge the line. If the gas does not ignite within 5 minutes, turn your dryer off and wait 5 minutes. Be sure the gas supply to your dryer has been turned on. To confirm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.
After the dryer is installed, start the Vent Blockage Test to check if the duct system is properly installed. The Vent Blockage Test automatically detects the status of the ducts and reports any blockage or problems. Proper ducting can reduce drying time and save energy.
NOTE: You must run the Vent Blockage Test while the dryer is cool. If the dryer warms up after the installation check, run the AIR FLUFF cycle for several minutes to reduce its internal temperature.
Running the vent blockage test
1. Make sure the drum is empty, and then close the door.
2. Press the POWER button to turn on the dryer.
3. Press and hold the Temp. and START/PAUSE buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
4. Press the START/PAUSE button.
5. After 2 minutes, when the test is complete, the result is displayed and the dryer sounds a tone.
NOTE:

Ducting
1. Make sure the dryer is installed properly, so the air exhausts freely.
2. Use 4-inch rigid metal ducts. Tape all joints, including the dryer connection. Never use lint-trapping screws.
3. To facilitate the exhaust, keep the ducts as straight as possible.
Cleaning
Clean all old ducts before installing the dryer, and make sure the vent flap opens and closes freely. We recommend that you clean the exhaust system regularly, at least once a year.
WARNING:
To reverse the direction of the door, we recommend that you contact a qualified technician. It is recommended to put a soft rug on the floor to prevent scratches on the door.
1. Put a soft rug on the floor to rest the door on after you have removed it. This will prEvent the door from being scratched.
2. Unplug the power cord of the dryer.
3. Remove the four hinge screws from the door, and then remove the door by lifting it up slightly.

NOTE: Extremely tangled items finished by the washer may degrade the drying efficiency or cause the door to open. We recommend that you untangle the items before drying.
To change the cycle during operation
Sensor Dry cycles sense moisture in the load and stop the dryer when the load reaches the dryness level you have selected.
| Cycle | Description |
| VERY DRY | Use this cycle to dry large or bulkier fabrics |
| MORE DRY | Use this cycle to dry large or bulkier fabrics. |
| NORMAL DRY | For most fabrics, including cotton and linens. |
| DAMP DRY | Damp dry is designed to partially dry items. Use this cycle for flat by hanger or ironing. |
You can manually select the drying settings to your preference.
| Cycle | Description |
| TIME DRY | You can specify a cycle time in minutes. |
| QUICK DRY | A quick drying cycle that runs for 40 minutes. The default cycle time is 40 minutes. However, you may manually change the cycle time if necessary. |
| AIR FLUFF | Tumbles the load in room temperature air. |
| WRINKLE RELEASE | The WRINKLE RELEASE cycle will release wrinkles from items that are clean, dry, and only slightly wrinkled, such as clothes from a crowded closet, suitcase, or items that have been in the dryer too long after the cycle has ended. WRINKLE RELEASE can be used with any temperature selection. |
NOTE:
For best results, follow the load size recommendations for each dry cycle.
Large load: Fill the drum to about 3/4 full. Do not add items over this level as they need to tumble freely. 
Medium load: Fill the drum to about 1/2 full. 
Small load: Fill the drum with 3-5 items, not more than 1/4 full
NOTE 
: factory setting, 
: can be selected
The best way to dry items is to follow the instructions on the care label. If no drying instructions are provided, see the following table for reference.
| Cycle | Description |
| Bedspreads & Comforters | Follow the care label instructions. Make sure the item is thoroughly dry before using or storing. May require repositioning in the drum to ensure even drying. |
| Blankets | Use NORMAL and dry only one blanket at a time for the best tumbling action. Make sure blankets are is thoroughly dry before using or storing. |
| Curtains & Draperie | Use the low temperature to help minimize wrinkling. Dry curtains and draperies in small loads for the best results and remove them as soon as possible. |
| Cloth Diapers | Use NORMAL and the Medium temperature setting for soft, fluffy diapers. |
| Down–filled Items (jackets, sleeping bags, comforters, etc.) | Use NORMAL and the Medium temperature setting. Add a couple of dry towels to absorb moisture and shorten drying time. |
| Foam Rubber (rug backs, stuffed toys, shoulder pads, etc.) | Do not dry on a heat setting. WARNING: Drying a rubber item with heat may damage it or cause a fire. |
| Pillows | Use NORMAL. Add a couple of dry towels and a pair of clean sneakers to help the tumbling action and to fluff the items. Do not dry kapok or foam pillows using a heated drying cycle. |
| Plastics (shower curtains, outdoor furniture covers, etc.) | Use TIME DRY and the Low or Extra Low temperature settings depending on the care label instructions. |
Child Lock
Child Lock prevents children from playing with the dryer. When Child Lock is activated, all buttons except for the POWER button are disabled.
To activate/deactivate Child Lock:
Simultaneously press and hold Temp. and Time for 3 seconds.
NOTE: Once Child Lock is activated, it will remain active even after you restart the dryer. If other buttons, except for the POWER button, do not respond, check the Child Lock indicator. If the indicator is on, follow the instructions above to turn Child Lock off.
Keep the dryer clean to prevent decreased performance and to lengthen its life cycle.
WARNING: Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during servicing.
Service Personnel - Do not contact the following parts while the appliance is energized: Control board and inlet valve.
To clean the powder coated drum, use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for easily marred surfaces. Remove cleaner residue and dry with a clean cloth.
If the dryer operates abnormally, first check the list of problems in the table below and try the suggested actions.
| Problem | Action |
| The dryer does not work. | Make sure the door is latched shut. Make sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet. Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses. Press or tap START/PAUSE again if the door is opened during a cycle. Clean the lint filter. |
| The dryer does not heat. | Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses. Some cycles do not require heat. Check the selected cycle again. For a gas dryer, make sure the gas supply is on. Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct. The dryer may have moved into the cool-down phase of the cycle. Turn off the Eco Dry option for the NORMAL or TIME DRY cycles. When the Eco Dry option is on, the dryer performs an air dry process at the beginning of the cycle to reduce energy consumption. The air dry process does not use heated air, so you may feel that the dryer is not being heated, but this is normal. (applicable models only) |
| The dryer does not dry. | Check the actions for “The dryer does not run” and “The dryer does not heat” sections. Make sure the exhaust hood outside your home can open and close freely. Check the exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned annually. Use a 4” rigid metal exhaust duct. Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load. Dry heavy items and light items separately. Large, bulky items, such as blankets or comforters, may require repositioning to ensure even drying. The load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels and restart the dryer. The load may be too large to tumble properly. Remove some items and restart the dryer. Clean the lint filter. |
| The dryer is noisy | Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc. Remove promptly. It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during the drying cycle. Make sure the dryer is leveled as outlined in the installation instructions. It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum, fan, or exhaust system. |
| Items are unevenly dried. | Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal. You can choose a higher dryness level or a cycle that involves a higher dryness level. If one heavy item is dried with a light load, such as one towel with sheets, the heavy item might not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. For the best drying results, dry heavy items and light items separately |
| The dryer smells. | Household odors from paint, varnish, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer draws the air from the room, heats it, pulls it through the drum, and exhausts it outside. When these odors linger in the air, completely ventilate the room before using the dryer. Use a cycle featuring the Refresh function. If odors persist, wash and dry the item again. |
| There is lint on clothes. | Make sure to clean the lint filter before every load. For clothes that naturally build up lint, clean the filter during the cycle. Some fabrics are lint producers (for example, a fuzzy white cotton towel) and they must be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (for example, a pair of black linen pants). Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying. Check pockets thoroughly before drying, then dry clothes. Remove lint inside the drum before drying. |
| Items are still wrinkled after WRINKLE PREVENT (WRINKLE-CARE, WRINKLE RELEASE) process. | Small loads of 1 to 4 items work best. Load fewer items. Load similar-type items. Take out the items immediately after drying is complete. |
| Water drips from the nozzle when STEAM CARE starts. | This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a short time. |
| Sprayed water is not visible during STEAM CARE. | Sprayed water is difficult to see when the door is closed |
| Drying takes too long. | Sensor Dry automatically senses the moisture in the load and shuts the dryer off when the selected dryness level is reached. The drying time can change according to the type and amount of laundry. See the cycle chart for reference. |
An information code is displayed with the temperature and time LEDs. First, all eight LEDs turn on, followed by one or two LEDs blinking. Check the following tables for their meanings.
